Park Tool DS-1 worth it or ?
Going to buy a new digital scale. Park tools DS-1 is around $50 or so on various sites. Anyone have any feedback on this unit, or feedback on something similiar?

No, I have seen other threads where people are buying digital scales on ebay for about $7.

Just get an inexpensive postal scale that will do grams.
Or hit up your local crack dealer

Park Tool probably charges 3X what the same digital-scale sells for - without the Park Tool sticker on it. I hate to say this but - check Harbor Freight. And try Amazon.com. I found their digital-calipers going for $11 postpaid - without the Park sticker. Park wants around $40.
